Thank you! Changing the permissions was one of the theories, but I'm glad to have had you point that one out - I wouldn't have guessed it being 04755.

Did you get Chrome to work on the Elite? I can never get it to download from the Play Store.
By the way, installed the ROM. This literally feels like a new phone. I've already had a flashed kernel for the 1.6ghz, but this ROM makes everything FEEL 10x faster. Ill comment on battery life later when I use it more.
Bravo. Now we just need the actual CM9/10 for some new goodness.

Glad you're enjoying it! The next update will include the working screenshot feature as well. Don't forget to set your CPU Settings, too - there are recommended ones in the OP. As for battery life, I'm regularly getting between a full 24-52 hours on a single charge depending on use, consistently. And usually in the higher end.

I'm about to upload v2.1.2 with the functional screenshot feature (thanks again KTB!), but I was wondering if all of you would rather have an App Pack instead of the five apps in /data/app? Rather than having an extra five apps you might not use, would that be more preferable in an alternate flashable .zip pack?
Also, I'll make the audio packs flashable .zips too here soon.
In your CPU Tuner app of choice. Recommended settings are in the OP.

I myself use the apps, if anything people could just uninstall them if they are not using them.

Beyond me for mobile devices. CPU Tuner makes it simple (which is why I always recommend it), and it what I use. Try that route.

Here is the best breakdown of I/O schedulers that I've seen

I've updated the OP CPU Settings section with that link, thank you!
Most IO schedulers were designed for use with storage devices that use moving parts like tape drives and hard drives with spinning platters. Seeking from file to file and within files takes time on these storage devices. The scheduler may have 3 things it needs to write to disk, and 3 things it needs to read. Due to the location of things on the disks, the scheduler may decide that it will be faster to perform those 6 operations out of order.
Our phones use flash storage which doesn't have moving parts, and doesn't have to seek. Much of the math that IO schedulers do to decide the order of pending operations is useless overhead. If you took those 3 reading and 3 writing operations and arrange them in any order you want, they will take almost identical times. So it doesn't make sense to waste your time figuring out what order to do them. Just set it to use noop Noop scheduler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Looks like our default cfq is the worst? How would I go about getting the SIO or noop scheduler? I don't have the option, I need to install it separately somehow

And that's why I had no idea about I/O Schedulers in regard to Mobile Devices - because of the flash memory. So in other words, I/O Scheduling is pointless and just set the CPU Tuner app with I/O Scheduling configuring to use Noop. Sounds good!
See giantpune's post. Try CPU Tuner instead, it's much easier to work with (and the icon in the statusbar can be configured to not be there).
Too many options in CPU Tuner holy crap. Love my No Frills app muuuch more. I don't really need profiles, just a one setting for everything kinda thing.
Glad we could exploit longer run-times in our cells with the IO scheduler though.
I suppose Ill just use noop instead of SIO in the No Frills app

Whats the latest on 2.1.2?

Man, what to do.....
Before I bought the OE I was looking into the HTC EVO V 4G which was not released yet. It was going to be around $300.00. More money then I'd spend on a phone, plus I'd have to give up my grandfather plan.
Bought the OE to keep my plan but was never very happy with the phone till I started to use Juice Defender. Then the phone was tolerable.
http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-elite/553543-dismal-battery-life.html
Then we got the phone rooted and was running Harmonia 2.03. Phone still had a few bugs and I was getting annoyed by some of them a few weeks ago. So about a 2 weeks ago I looked at VM website and saw the HTC EVO V 4G was $189.00; price was looking good. Started to read the forums about that phone and sounds to have a few bugs like the OE... Looks like they have them worked out and a few ROMs available.
Decided to flash this ROM a few days ago. I've been extremely happy with the performance and some of the bugs that bugged me (haha) are not there anymore. Maybe it was just a glitch before and a fresh flash with the old ROM would have made the same difference, I don't know. But as I said, this Sleipnir 2.1.1 is a great running ROM.
I'm going to drop a little in the PP for your work here....
Now the real dilemma I'm trying to talk myself out of.... VM, HTC EVO V 4G, $149.99. Man, that's my price point for a phone..... but the OE is running the best it has since I purchased it.....

True enough, I just set up one profile to run all of the time XD
Screenshot via the Power Menu is now active and working properly
I second an earlier notion - just do what you feel you're going to be happiest with. Right now we have a phone that was intended to be 800MHz, low-end, ten hours max of battery life and limited low-end phone features with NFC.
Now we have a full 48-52 hour battery life potential, at 1.6GHz, able to tackle some of the high-end phone jobs, and is on par with mid-high end phones at least on speed tests alone. With that, we've also taken it another step forward with working init.d scripting, and have managed to take a once low-end phone into an unlocked, rooted, very capable phone with near limitless potential.
The thing is, that's the case with most Android phones once we get them to this stage, is it not?
Go with what you're going to be happiest with. In either case, I hope to still see you around in the OE part of the Android community.

Here's a little song I feel I should post. Dunno why, but has a good feel to it. Adds to the post
...
And with all of that, Sleipnir v2.1.2 is up and ready to go. Have at it!

Still a no go on the search button. At least on my end.

The search button is the next (and one of the last) feature to implement. This time around, the Advanced Power Menu was finished with the Screenshot feature working properly now. That was the update

Ohhhhh shoot. My fault. Dunno how I mistaked that for a working search button. Haha.
But indeed, the screenshot is working stupendously. Thanks again Artine!
Just out of curiosity.. Is there really anymore that can be done to make this rom any faster or smoother. Not that I have any one single complaint about the speediness or zippiness of it. I am BEYOND satisfied with its performance as is. Just curious.
Thanks again for your awesome work, Artine!

The phone has a lot of potential, and a lot of it has been utilized. I'm sure there are always some small improvements that can be made to make it faster and/or smoother - and once we've the Search Button Remap working correctly, I'll be looking into those. Though this is something I've thought about for a while - with the exception of CM, there will be a point we're coming up on where there's little or nothing more we can do for the phone. Then, there's always bug fixes too - more cleaning up after LG's mess

Well thats good to hear.
I was just afraid we already reached that point. Haha.
For the last half hour I have been sitting here going back and forth between the "Guide to removing stock apps" thread and Titanium, uninstalling the few files and apps you left in. Every little bit helps! Lol.
